How to Use This Wiki Page Here I have collected some web links that can help you delve into the use of Web 2.0 or the world of social software. There are endless amounts of sites, just like there is endless information available. Our job as educators is to help learners find the good stuff. These offerings are what I think (and my colleagues think) represent "good stuff". This changes, of course, far quicker than I can edit the page so I hope you do come back to visit. Just peruse the sites and maybe something will pique your interest. Using these links, you can "use the machine" to do what you need to bring Learning/Facilitating/instruction into the 21st century. - ensenyo
